Grow up. I think most of us have

+1.

I was a rare Giuliani supporter in 2007-8 who didn't get banned. I said exactly what you just said.

Here was a very unusual politician who said he was going to do something "impossible", and then went ahead and did it.

I feel the same way about DJT. I grew up in NYC when he was a young man, and by the mid-80s he was the punchline of a joke.

But that was then.

I keep going back to the Lincoln-Grant analogy.

The story goes that Lincoln was pressured to remove Grant from command because of his drinking. It was unseemly!

Lincoln’s response - I cannot spare this man, he fights!

That’s how I feel about Trump. Don’t care about un-Presidential. We had eight years of G.W. Bush not responding at all to all sorts of unjustified attacks, acting Presidential, and what did that get us? Eight years of Obama.

I’ll take Trump, he fights.

+1 to that. The best that one can see it six more years of Trump and then just someone out of the Republican depth chart in 2024.

Make the best of it, and if you're older rather than younger, be thankful for your long years, for better or for worse.

What must be taken away are their printing presses and their transmitters

They are not truly American and not entitled to American legal protection

Thanks Freedom Poster! Here's the CWII Ping:

Note to recent list joiners who aren't getting pinged on this: I'm a little behind Duncan on updating the list, my apologies. I'll make sure to get that done today.

Their ignorance will soon be found out when CWII becomes a shooting war instead of just words.

"The Left doesn’t get the desperation, or the degree of desperation most of us feel."

Yup.

My non-political older sister called me before the last presidential election pleading for me to vote for Trump...she said, "he's our last chance to save the country."

I was surprised, up till then, she didn't even vote.

” Holier than though hasn’t cut it for a long time, but we get holier than thou Hillarys and Bushes because we like holier than thou. Grow up. I think most of us have.”

Thank you for this comment. We are the resistance. The resistance has to fight out of sewers and do things that are usually frowned upon. That is our only way to win. Yet, some here still hold noses at etiquette offences like this is a parlor game. Amazing.

I have to agree although I really wish it wasn’t so.

But the handwriting is on the wall.

The Left will go after us with all they have. For instance, what Lois Lehrner of the IRS did will be common practice. IMO

“As it is, 50% of the public is still sitting out elections. As the Communist horde stands boldly declaring they are coming for your property and liberty”.

Yes, it’s disgusting. Some of them will wake up but it will be too late. They won’t understand what hit them.

Direct quote from a Democratic Operative on CSpan (wish i’d caught his name) as to how they see the USA.
“You cannot talk about Economic Inequality in this country without talking about Racial & Economic disparities because of the system we’ve built based on Slavery, Jim Crow and Interment and all these things.”
Profound to me because they see our nation’s foundation as built on shifting sand unworthy of support. They mean to tear down this crumbling house and put up their own.
